INTERPOL Warsaw

The INTERPOL National Central Bureau for Poland is an essential national platform linking the Polish police with international law enforcement for the exchange of criminal information and for carrying out international police investigations.

As part of a strategy to boost national security and prevent criminal activity in Poland, INTERPOL Warsaw recently integrated INTERPOL's databases into the Polish police network called PSTD, thus giving police across the country instant and automated access to INTERPOL’s global databases. This gives them critical data on wanted persons, vehicles and stolen and lost travel documents (SLTD) in a matter of seconds. With this new capacity, Poland police officers in the field can quickly determine if a person is a potential threat to national security.
